OSS Station

New Member here......

I work for a local Lawn/Garden supply place, which happens to be oldest and largest fence installer in the Kalamazoo area. I am 1 of 4 fence salesman for the company as well as their IT guy and inhouse woodworker. Use to be a IT guy and got let go from a company (THANK GOD). Now I am doing a job that I get out and about everyday. I have a wife (High School Spanish Teacher) of 13 yrs, 10+ yr old daughter and a 7+ yr old daughter. But enough about me.

Here is my OSS Station I made to get my OSS up off the floor and onto a perminent base, plus give me some storage. I have build a lot of face frame cabinets and decided this one should be frameless. The carcass is Red Oak Ply with Cherry strips to hide the plywood ends. The door fronts are also cherry. I really used it to see how the two woods would go together, without getting anything fancy wood wise.

You can read more about it on my WEBSITE (http://www.planesnsuch.com/smartsection+item.itemid+11.htm), plus see my other hobbies.

Very nice set up, Jim. I've got the same OSS, freshly delivered thanks to Santa. I may want to do something like this, thanks for the idea.

Great idea Jim. I was thinking of doing something like this for my new bench top drill press. You have a nice design. I could make smaller drawers for drill bit storage and maybe a cabinent below with shelves to store my protable drills. You really got me thinking. Now, let's see, I think I will have some oak 3/4 plywood left over after my fireplace remodel, hmmmm. I think it might work. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the Creek Jim! Very nicely done. I need to make something like that for my grinder.

Ditto. Nice job. Still haven't unpacked mine. Hey, beautiful photos on your website too!

Nice looking stand, Jim. I'm making something similar, but not as dressed up as yours. I have space in my workshop, so I made the top of my stand 30 inches wide, which gives me about 5 inches on each end to lay things on (and probably immediately forget where I laid them) while I'm using the sander.
